Description
Kew Gardens Farmhouse is a farmhouse that dates from the late 17th century, with an early 19th-century extension and later alterations. It features a rendered and whitewashed timber frame with a brick plinth and a 20th-century tile roof, which has brick end stacks. The building has a three-unit plan, with the right unit added in the early 19th century. It is two storeys high and has a three-window range at the first floor, consisting of 2-light casements. The ground floor has 2- and 3-light casements, with a gabled porch located to the centre right. There is a later single-storey range on the left end, which may replace an earlier unit. The right end has two small upper casements and a projecting stack, while the rear features single, 2- and 3-light casements.
Inside, the farmhouse has tall panel-framing and an open fireplace with a bressumer and chamfered bridging beams. There are two 17th-century windows, now internal, on the original end wall where the extension joins. The interior also includes plank doors. The original roof of the 17th-century part retains a hip at the end, with the extension roof covering it. The attic ceiling is plastered below the collars. This farmhouse remains largely unaltered and reflects the architectural style of its period.
